So yesterday I get up bright and early and take my friend up on his generous offer to cart me off - yet again - to the Mazda dealership.
I bring a pay stub, my chequebook, and all the paperwork pertaining to the deal. I'm feeling pretty well-equipped to sit down and buy my first car.
I'm not a haggler. I don't care for bickering...

I want you to know that even though you went with the automatic tranny, I still think you're cool and I believe we can be friends.

Ah, well, tiptronic--that's a whole other issue. It's no effort to respect a man who knows when to seize and jerk his stick and when to let it be.
My girlfriend, though, she's a stickshift diehard--I'm afraid you've lost a few esteem points in her pretty eyes. (Yes, the same girlfriend who, when I told her I wouldn't be making it out to see you said, without for a moment considering my health, "But he seems like such a nice guy!" She is nothing if not fickle.)

Haha, you missed!

Not much going on with me lately. Kicking around the car purchase in my mind with every spare moment. It's exhilirating and terrifying. That's a long time to be in debt.
My vacation is finally winding down, and I'm really excited to get back to work. 3 weeks is just a little too long, even though we were all pretty burnt out leading into it....

I'm sorry, Dave. I can't make it out. I admit I've felt worse, but I'm in no shape for a trip downtown and a late night, nor is my throat fit for a conversation in a crowded room. I need fluids and rest.
Again, I'm sorry. My girlfriend just called asking if I was going and when I told her I wasn't she expressed great disappointment--"as long as you're not chickening out," she said. She said she's the type to chicken out and she didn't want me to do what she'd do. I assure you, I was sincerely looking forward to being a guy you met "on a porn site".
In good health I'm everything you take me to be in that glowing testimonial you wrote. When you get that car and trips to TO are a thing of whimsy I promise to come out and prove it.
I hope the show rocks your socks.

For all the gushing I've done over the Acura RSX, I think it's time that I admit that my heart belongs to the Mazda Protege 5.
Specifically, it belongs to one of the three new ones that showed up at the local dealership yesterday. (They don't make them anymore, so finding three new ones is pretty freaking exciting.)
I might buy a car.
You guys...

I hope you get the Protege!! I love them.
You fucking rock yourself.
I like Slipknot, but haven't heard them lately.
Hope your teeth are doing well! (Damn Vanilla Coke for being so addictive.)
PS - How was the visit with your family?

"suck that cock"? That was funny.
"Jesus?" That had me on the floor.

Vacation is going reasonably well. I sold a guitar back to the guy I bought it from, I've enjoyed wonderful meals with my parents, and I've had dogs barking at me and crawling over me and playing fetch since the moment I walked home.
I'm going to get to see just about everybody important who's still up here. The only drag is that I've got...

Alright, fanboy, it looks like I've got that Sunday evening off (and the Monday morning too!), so I can tentatively say I'll be there.
I'd be firmer in my committment if I didn't have to trade off a closing shift for later next week on account of my dumb ass not booking an evening off to see a friend's play that I've known about for weeks.
On Monday I'll have everything straight.

So tomorrow (or possibly even later today if I feel ambitious), I'm going to head up to see my parents. I won't lie - I hate travelling. I'm not a traveller. I don't travel well. It's not the being elsewhere that I mind so much (although I'm definitely the type who likes to make his home the place he wants to be, full of all...

I hope you are having a LOVELY time with your family, friends, and dogs!
John Cusack characters are always right about that saying what's in your heart thing. That's why I love him.
I'm not too big on the homepage either, but maybe it's because this is the first time I've seen it and I need to get used to it... hmmm.
The weird journal thing happened b/c NO77 accidently updated my journal when he meant to update his. I was very sad b/c most of my favorite people (like YOU) posted on the first version of that journal... I think I'll survive though.
Have a fun weekend!

I'm poor and handle my finances badly. And now the whole world knows!
I'm happy to report that The Critic gets a lot funnier in the second season. The first disc and a half in that set has been a chore. I've fallen asleep during countless episodes. But now that we're into the second season (I'm guessing by a recut intro and some slightly different character designs), we're actually laughing.
Everybody having a good weekend?

Bleh. It's grey and snowy today. I wish I wasn't waking up so early these days. It would be nice to sleep in until noon. I think that I've forgotten how.
As usual, not too much going on. But that's not so bad for a vacation. I've gone out several time with the lads, ingested too much alcohol, and gone to the gym precisely once....

that sounds like the best plan i've heard in a long time!
Nothing bad has happened since Monday's dentist appointment. My system doesn't quite know what to do with itself from a sleep standpoint, because I'll go out drinking with the lads until 4 but wake up at 9 feeling ready to go, and then fall asleep at 7 in the evening and wake up at 8 the next day.

I'm glad your vacation is going better - and that you're that much closer to getting a car. I had a Protege a few years ago and really liked it. In fact, I think it saved me in a pretty bad car accident I had. I was so sad when it was totalled. 
This weekend we're off to Orlando! Yay! I'm always happy to leave town! What are your plans for the weekend? Any strip clubs in the picture?
Whatever you do, I hope your weekend is lovely.

i miss my car. my mom sold it without telling me last semester. it was an ooooolld nissan sedan that didn't run with a darn unless you stroked it softly and spoke gentle words. it also had a hula girl, bobbly trim, and pink hubcaps. i miss petula.
i was walking around the other day, trying to find a store in the summerhill area when i found this senior's restaurant that you were speaking of. that place looks awesome! now if i could just find a friend who eats meat to chow down on some dead cow with me.
